User talk:Francis Zaia

Welcome!

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Aleta Curry 23:23, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Regarding Wikipedia pages

Hi Francis

Apropos of work done for Wikipedia that you wish to edit/improve here, we have a Wikipedia template. WPauthor| - which you would enclose in double curly brackets.

(If you leave it blank and leave out four tildes, you get a form message.)

	NOTICE, please do not remove from top of page.
	Check the history of edits to see who inserted this notice.

or, you can type in any text you want:

	NOTICE, please do not remove from top of page.
	Aleta Curry wrote this article for Wikipedia in 2010 and intends to maintain it here.

I'm sorry, what do I do? Francis Zaia 00:11, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I think that falls into the 'too-much-too-soon' category. You don't have to do anything yet; if you want to import something from Wikipedia, let me know. Otherwise, just start whenever you're ready! :) Aleta Curry 00:30, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay, will do. Thank you very much for your continued help. Francis Zaia 00:37, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
